Classroom Management, Discipline, and Corrective Action | The Board of the Mukilteo School District focuses on the educational achievement of each and every student. The District holds high expectations for all students and gives all students the opportunity to achieve personal and academic success. “Discipline” means any action taken by the school district in response to behavioral violations, including exclusionary as well as positive and supportive forms of discipline. The Board intends that this policy and procedure be implemented in a manner that supports positive school climate, maximizes instructional time, and increases equitable educational opportunities, including but not limited to:
[Board Policy 3241 and Procedures 3241-P]
Bus Conduct | Transportation is available to students whose residences qualify them to ride a bus. Continued ridership is based on a student’s safe, respectful and responsible behavior at bus stops and on the bus.
Passenger Conduct
Failure to abide by bus conduct guidelines will result in discipline, which may include exclusion from the bus and school disciplinary action.
[Board Policy 8120 and Board Policy 8123]
Off-campus Intervention | The following are factors for consideration to determine whether or not a school will assume jurisdiction in an off-campus incident:
Appeal, Readmission, and Re-Engagement During School Exclusion
In-School Suspension, Short-Term or Long-Term Suspension, School Expulsion, or Emergency Removal
Students or parent/guardian(s) may appeal any suspension or expulsion from school. Grievance and appeal procedures are stated on each suspension/expulsion notice and can also be found in Board Procedures 3241-P.
Optional Conference with Principal | If a student or the parent/guardian(s) disagree with the District's decision to suspend, expel, or emergency remove the student, the student or parent/guardian(s) may request an informal conference with the principal or designee to resolve the disagreement. The parent/guardian or student may request an informal conference orally or in writing. An informal conference will not limit the right of the student or parent/guardian(s) to appeal the suspension, expulsion, or emergency expulsion, participate in a reengagement meeting, or petition for readmission.
